Oplotnica Gorge, Lačna Gora

Wild and untamed, Oplotnica thunders from Pohorje, although it is only a stream. When nature abounds in water, it can become a real rapid river. Slowly and steadily, the Oplotnica stream carved its way into the rock as a mighty gorge, which has been known to the locals as the Oplotnica Gorge for many years, hidden in a forest largely covered by moss, in which the water is constantly rippling.

People from Pohorje mostly adopted 3 handicrafts:

- Woodwork. Pohorje is, as we know it, a treasury of quality woods.

- Transport. Vintgar was the only timber supply route from the forests of Pohorje. It also led to Cezlak, a site of chizlakite.

- Sawmills and mills. The Oplotnica stream used to run as many as 30 sawmills and mills.
